"The Commission's initiative in focussing on the right to education initially raised in the realm of education an inevitable question: "what can the human rights approach contribute?" Obviously, we never intended to duplicate what was already done in education, our mandates are this Commission's thematic procedures, and this is the Commission on Human Rights, not on education. We had to prove that the human rights profession had something to contribute to education, that we had (to use a term seldom employed within this Commission) a comparative advantage."
